MR DOSZPOT: Chief Minister, as per your response in the Assembly yesterday, what actions have you, your office or government agencies taken since your meeting with the Brumbies and ARU representatives?

MR BARR: The ACT government is not directly involved in this matter.

MADAM SPEAKER: A supplementary question, Mr Doszpot.

MR DOSZPOT: Minister, when did you become aware that the deal between the Brumbies and the University of Canberra had been referred to the AFP?

MR BARR: I am not sure that that is the best way to describe what was referred to the AFP, but that came last year. I would need to check the exact date.

Mr Coe: What was referred?

MR BARR: A KPMG report, is my understanding, Madam Speaker, but again, in the meeting that was attended by the Brumbies chairman and the CEO of the Brumbies when they came to see me, they made it very clear that no-one from the ACT government was in any way involved in their concerns.

ACT public service—redundancies

MR SMYTH: My question is to the Chief Minister. Chief Minister, yesterday you informed the Assembly that the ACT government is currently calling for expressions of interest for voluntary redundancies in Access Canberra and the Chief Ministers directorate. Chief Minister, is the calculation for the redundancies based on an amount targeted to be saved, based on particular staff positions or based on redundant functions?

MR BARR: On the operational needs of the organisations.

MADAM SPEAKER: Supplementary question, Mr Smyth.

MR SMYTH: Chief Minister, from what classifications of staff are expressions being sought, and are these service delivery positions or management positions?

MR BARR: That detail is yet to be determined, Madam Speaker, in the context of whether the government or those directed will, in fact, accept voluntary redundancies from different classifications. There is an expression of interest that has been called. In relation to the detail of classifications, I can provide that information when it is available.
